I wish there was more information, either positive or negative, on the health issue concern. Unfortunately untill there are more of them bred, there will be very little information. Lack of information does not mean that the issues don't exist, but neither does someone making a claim, that has no proof to back itf, mean that they do exist.

I'd hate for a any dog to suffer just for me to enjoy a Golden or Chocolate Yorkie. 
Honestly, this isn't a major issue for me because I'm not a breeder and probably never will be. I couldn't stand to let the babies go ... I'd end up being a major dog horder and you'd see me on Animal Plant. LOL They'd send the cops over to remove some of my dogs lol But I am curious about this because in the future (if GOD FORBID I ever lose one of my babies), I'll be in the market for more pupsters. Heck, I may even get a fourth dog one day (after we buy a house). So this is important info to know and thanks to everyone for posting their opinions about it. |
